I’ve been wrestling with my resume for about a year now.  While I’d like to plunk down $2,000 for a professional version I just don’t have the spare cash.  Mom needs groceries and pills, the kid needs new (insert anything here).  By the end of the month I’m completely broke.  I’m also still resumeless and that has got to change.  One would think writing a resume would take no more effort than writing a weekly newspaper column or editing a thesis, but no…compared to those endeavors, it is hell.

My sister has been trying to help me but I’m hopelessly unsettled.  Marketing is what I do (most of it anyway), gaming is what I love; marrying the two would be a pretty nifty career move.  But how?  I’ve spent 25 years doing things most people only dream of doing, yet I cannot effectively summarize that experience in one or two concise pages.  Under “major accomplishments,” all I ever feel like writing is, “I’ve survived.”

Help!
